Polynomial and Radial SVMs capture non-linear boundary perfectly (near 0 error). Radial SVM slightly better on unseen test data (lowest test error = 0.01). Radial kernel is the best choice here.
In a setting with visible non-linear separation, a support vector machine with a polynomial or radial kernel significantly outperforms a linear support vector classifier. Both Polynomial and Radial models achieve zero training error and very low test error, whereas the Linear SVM has high training and test errors (~40%).

As the cost parameter increases from very small to moderate values, the cross-validation error decreases, reaching its lowest point at a cost of approximately 0.6. Very small cost values lead to underfitting (higher error), while very large cost values slightly overfit the data (error increases again slightly). The best model, with cost ≈ 0.6, achieves a cross-validation error of about 8%, indicating good predictive performance.
Best cost ≈ 0.6 Best CV error ≈ 8.16% Tuning method: 10-fold cross-validation Linear SVM gives a reasonable classification boundary for predicting high/low gas mileage.

Moderate tuning of both cost and gamma gives the best performance. Radial kernel gives the lowest CV error overall compared to linear and polynomial kernels.
Polynomial Kernel SVM: Best cross-validation error: 0.0765 (~7.65% misclassification) Best parameters: Cost ≈ 5.62, Degree = 3 Degree Effect: Degree = 2 results in higher error (~17–28% depending on cost). Degree = 3 results in much lower error (~7–10%) — especially at moderate cost. As cost increases: The CV error first decreases and then slightly increases at very high cost (overfitting effect).
The radial kernel achieved the lowest cross-validation error (7.63%), outperforming both the linear and polynomial kernels. Polynomial SVM with degree 3 also performed well but was slightly less accurate than the radial SVM. Both radial and polynomial kernels effectively captured the non-linear structure in the data, while the linear SVM was comparatively less flexible.

The linear SVM fails to capture the non-linear separation between classes, leading to visible misclassifications. The radial kernel SVM adapts perfectly to the data’s structure, achieving minimal classification error. The polynomial kernel SVM also improves over the linear classifier, but its boundary is less flexible than the radial kernel.

## CH MMA support vector classifier was fitted to the OJ training data using a linear kernel and a cost of 0.01. The model produced 437 support vectors, which is more than half of the training observations. This large number of support vectors is expected due to the low cost value, which allows a wider margin with some tolerance for misclassification. The support vectors are almost equally split between the two classes, indicating a balanced classification boundary.

Tuning SVM with Radial Kernel (cost from 0.01 to 10) Increasing cost to around 2.23 significantly reduced the cross-validation error. A moderate cost allows the model to fit better without overfitting.
Best Radial Model — Training and Test Error After Tuning
A support vector machine with a radial kernel and an initial cost of 0.01 produced high training and test error rates (~39.63% and ~37.04% respectively), indicating underfitting. After tuning over cost values between 0.01 and 10, the best model was obtained with a cost of approximately 2.23, achieving a training error of 15.13% and a test error of 15.56%. Tuning the cost parameter significantly improved the model’s performance, reducing both training and test errors and leading to better generalization to unseen data.

Best Polynomial Model — Training and Test Error After Tuning Significant improvement compared to cost = 0.01 model. Training and test errors are very close, indicating good generalization.
A support vector machine with a polynomial kernel of degree 2 was initially fitted with a cost of 0.01, resulting in a training error of 38.25% and a test error of 34.07%. After tuning cost values between 0.01 and 10, the optimal cost was found to be 10.00, achieving a training error of 15.63% and a test error of 15.56%. Tuning significantly improved model performance by reducing both training and test errors and achieving better generalization.
#h Radial kernel SVM has the lowest training error (15.13%) and lowest test error (15.56%) overall. Polynomial kernel SVM (degree = 2) is very close — almost same test error (15.56%) but slightly higher training error (15.63%). Linear SVM has higher errors than both Radial and Polynomial — about 16.38% (train) and 16.67% (test). All models generalize well, but Radial captures non-linear patterns a little better.
Among the three models, the support vector machine with a radial kernel achieved the lowest training and test error rates, suggesting it provided the best fit for the OJ data. The polynomial kernel (degree 2) performed almost as well, while the linear SVM had slightly higher error rates. Therefore, the radial SVM approach gives the best overall results for this dataset.
